the business should fd le t`se application for the use permit.
In response to Co.mmissioner Brauner°s inquiry concerning equipment, Mr. Keyston stated

4. VARIANCES -- REAR YARD SETBACK AND LESS THAN REQUIRED PARKING._ (cont.)
Chairman Pro Tempore Taylor annoup ced a public hearing on the application for variance
filed by Mr. and airs. Eric G. Mausser, 1535 Meadow lane, to construct addition to
existing residence to wi't-It? feet of rear property tine and provide less than
required garage or carport spaces for 3 bedroom home. (Lot 19, Block 2, Burlingame
Village Subdivision, ?one! R-•1, Single-family dwellings).
The application form indicated improvements existing: "one-story residence."
The applycant:s communication dated September 25, 1969, stated that the proposed
addition will measure 23 feet in width by 18 feet in length; that the existing residence,
comprising a one -car garage, kitchen, living -dining room, den, two bedrooms and one
bath is far from adequate for a family of two adults and three children; that efforts to
purchase another residence, wpth similar advantages in the present location of neigh-
borhood, surrounding area, and the city, generally, were unsuccessful; and for these
reasons, the decision was made to attempt to construct an additional bedroom and bath.
The communication stated further that the proposed addition was considered the most
feasible irrethod of expandi nthe structure and preserving a useful and spacious rear
yard; attempting to limit tge addition to code requirements would result in loss of
needless footage for the stairs into the rear yard, a narrow L-shaped yard and
extremely narrow bedroom; and that consideration to adding a second story wets `1 nlin;!.ed
because o'F costs, invasion of neighbors' privacy and inconsistency with the general
appearance of the dwellirg and the neightczr°ho>�d<
A plat showing 'xocatforl e ; � § � er�t:�° anti a F,lo'b. pia; !sere filed.:
A letter dated Cctobe 23, 1969, frog, Grant R. and Mildred W. Bishop, Star Rte. 2,
Pine Grove, California, owners of the property at 1537 Eastmoor Road, immediately
adjacent at the rear to the subject: property, protested the variance for the
following reasons: the proposed addition will infringe on their privacy;
obstruct the evening Sun from their rear yard and lower their property values.
In response to the Chair, there were no co!mwnts from the audience favoring or pro-
testing the variance.
The Chair recognized Mr. Mausser.
Commenting on the statement in the communication opposing the variance, Mr. Mausser
questioned the allegation of property devaluLtion and stated that, unless he were
to construct a second story, there would be r;o interference with the neighbor's
privacy nor deprivation of sunlight.
Commissioner Norberg suggested, as an alternative, reversing the dimensions and
constructing an area 23 feet in width by 13 feet in length, thereby increasing the
open space between the building and the neighbor's property.
Mr. Mausser explained that prevision must be made for an outside staircase and that
the resultant master bedroom and bath :could be considerably 'less spacious and attrac-
tive than the submitted plan, and the yard area less functional.
In response to Commissioner Kindig, the City Planner reported that there is a large
front yard and that, with the proposed addition, lot coverage would be under the 40%
required by code.
Commissioner Norberg requested than: the applicant furnish a floor plan of the dwelling,
showing existing and proposed rooms.
Mr. Mausser stated that the requir+emeni.- for a two -car garage appears to create an insur-
mountable barrier}--th,,! necessary space does not exist.
Mr. Mausser, thereafter, agreed to have a more detailed drawing available for Com-
mission review at the study meeting of November 10.
The hearing was thereafter continued to the regular meeting of November 24, 1969.
